THE PIRATES DE L'ESPOIR

July 7-8th, 2018 - 3th edition

The aim of the Pirates de L'Espoir is to provide day trips on water (boat tour, boat parade, etc.) to children with a physical or mental disability or disadvantaged children in order to give them an opportunity to have fun, play and celebrate on the water. Marinas, cruise ships, sailing schools or adapted sports associations are welcome to offer trips for young pirates of hope on 7-8th July, 2018.

Solicit your boaters to welcome families on their boat for a few hours. This moment will have a direct impact on the lives of these families. See it for yourself with this report from the 2016 edition. (French Version Only)

We ask marinas, cruise operators and other concerns and interested parties who wish to take part in this unique event to fill the on-line form to become an event organizer or to contact Valérie Joyal, coordinator of Pirates de l'Espoir.

The QMA will promote your event regionally with the local media and interested parties and associations. Organizers will also receive an event planning kit for participating kids and support teams to the event.
